doc says he thinks not only do i have pf but tarsel tunnel also. he put my on meds called neurotin to calm down the inflammed nerves. i finally got the cast off. he really cheered me up and gave me hope. wooo hooo you should've seen the hair on my leg! i came home and soaked my foot and scrubbed it. gosh it felt good to do that...and shave it.thanks to everyone who has been so supportive.kay

Kay,

What dose of Neurontin did he put you on? Did your Dr. tell you that for some people it takes a couple of weeks to begin helping with the nerve pain? Lots of people say it really helps them, though, so hang in there!

and/or you can visit the Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome message board; most of the people who post there do have TTS and do understand the special problems TTS involves...
